From the Orange & Blue News:
There might not be a guard in the country that has made the incline over the last three weeks like the future Illinois guard. Richardson and his Warriors teammates quietly went 2-1 in pool play at the Boo Williams event to start the month and were bounced out in the first round of the playoffs. In Arkansas, the tables turned and the team lost in overtime in the championship game to Team Breakdown.
Last weekend in Akron, Richardson capped off a big April with another strong weekend before losing in overtime to the D.C. Assault team. Richardson was the best scorer in the 17 and under division that we saw all weekend.
His baseline floater is a favorite go-to move and he scored with it time and time again. He showed all the facets of his offensive game at the King James, scoring with his go-to but also showed his touch from the wing. Richardson’s spring production has been strong and he clearly understands the value of consistency.
